Custom Men's Clothing at Larrimor's in Downtown Pittsburgh

Located in downtown Pittsburgh, Larrimor’s clothing for men includes custom menswear, made-to-measure suits and bespoke clothing. We have a wide range of styles and from top designers. For the perfect fit, custom menswear is experiencing a revival in men’s clothing. It has really taken off in the denim and jeans, shirt and shoes market. An improved process and growing demand for custom clothing and tailoring means that men can now enjoy more affordable custom made suits, sportcoats, outerwear, jeans, tuxedos and formalwear, casual and dress shirts, shoes, belts, and ties — all conveniently available in downtown Pittsburgh.

Choosing custom clothing, also known as made-to-meaure, means your garment is created, just for you. It's more flattering to your shape and cut to fit your body. Made with precision and the care, custom menswear offers an exceptional fit that can have a major impact on a man’s self image and confidence.

The Larrimor’s approach to made to measure, bespoke and custom men’s clothing tailoring includes combining the latest technology with time-honored craftsmanship that is passed down through generations. Our team of highly skilled tailors and design experts will ensure your custom fitted suit, pants, shirt, jacket or formalwear is exactly what you desire. Working closely with you to create the ultimate bespoke garment is an art, and as we provide a truly personalized experience.

Larrimor’s uses only the finest materials and our suit offerings include designers such as Zegna, Canali, Isaia, Scabal and Oxxford. Whether you seek the perfectly tailored professional look or a flawless suit or tuxedo for that special occasion, custom-made menswear at Larrimor’s is a craft we’ve been perfecting for decades.

If you’ve noticed an increased interest in custom menswear and made-to-measure clothing these days, you’re not alone. Whether they’re picking their own fabrics, buttons, lining or lapels, more men than ever are taking the time to create a custom look suit that expresses their individual style. The reasons for the recent boom in men’s custom clothing? More affordable price points than in the past (often only about 20 percent higher than off the rack). And secondly, more custom styled suits and jackets are being worn by athletes and celebrities, whether they’re walking a red carpet, being interviewed after a game or appearing on a talk show.

We can’t overstate that the main reason to consider custom men’s clothing is a perfect fit. The bespoke process requires taking several precise measurements, a big advantage for men whose shape may include sloping shoulders, larger midsections, muscular thighs or extra-long legs. Off the rack suits, no matter how well made and how much stretch is incorporated into the fabric, often aren't very flattering to those without perfectly proportioned bodies. That's because many manufacturers (especially the Italian brands) create their suits more for slim European bodies than for hefty, or even average, American shapes.

Custom menswear makes the ultimate statement of elegance, confidence and sophistication. So whether you want a single custom suit, perfectly fitting jeans or an entire custom wardrobe, Larrimor's can create that perfectly tailored look for one customer and one customer alone: you.

Custom men’s dress shirts at Larrimor’s

Custom dress shirts and custom casual shirts are another easy way to increase your “wow” factor. Fifteen made-to-order measurements are taken, including your exact chest, cuff and shoulder measurements. Once you’ve decided on a French or barrel cuff, Larrimor’s made-to-measure specialists can help you select a collar style that best suits your face shape and find fabrics, colors and patterns that complement you. Larrimor's tailors can give you a slim look (minus the excess fabric that can often make your mid-section look like a balloon) without constraining you.

What’s not to love? Hundreds of fabric choices. A multitude of cuffs, pockets and monograms from which to choose—the ultimate sartorial look and fit. Custom shirts are affordable luxury at a price only slightly higher than off the rack.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between ready-to-wear, made-to-measure and custom clothing?

Ready-to-wear, aka off-the-rack or ready-made, is pre-made and offered as is. Our tailors will alter the garment for a better fit.

Made-to-measure and custom clothing are two different terms for the same thing. These are garments that are custom made for your body. Made-to-measure is an older term used by previous generations. Custom clothing and custom menswear are more current terms and refers to companies that specialize in making every article of clothing. For example, today you can have your jeans custom made; your knit shirt can be custom made. In addition to suits, sportcoats and shirts. Larrimor’s made-to-measure/custom brands include: Zegna, Scabal, Canali, Isaia, Heritage Gold (formerly Hickey Freeman), Oxxford Clothing, Eton and Atelier Munroe.
